regime and (B) sabotage of important industrial and government installations
in Havana. trength of MRP in Havana estimated <o exceed 1,000 -- success

ouy almost anything in Cuba from Castro officials -~- they were tainted by
corruption. Since Castro's victory at Bday of Pigs, his popular support is
estimated to be around 80-85%. Most support is out of fear because the
people believe he will be in power permanently. Borja said DRE outside of
Guba working hard for release of former leader, Alverto Muller from prison.

Subject: Alleged "New York Times" Publicity Build-up for Manolo Ray

Hal Hendrix, Scripps-Howard L.A. correspondent believes MY Times publicity
buildup for Ray in full swing. Tad Szule reporting Ray's war movements from
Miami. Also with Szule is close friend, Henry Raymont of the Times.

HYendrix said Times playing up Ray while downplaying Artime and Gutierrez
Menoyo. Think's Times exaggerating Ray's plans to take teams of highly
trained guerrillas into Cuba, and that Ray's "war" is little more than an
MGM-type New York Times production so far.

IV Cable suggests that an offer of financial assistance to Ray's wife
and children from CIA rather than through the FRD may pay large future
dividends. Family to arrive circa September 1960.

2. Cable to Director .
From: MASH '
19 September 1960

Increasing suspicion RAUL CHIBAS a Castro plant. Since exfiltration by
KAPPES, CHIBAS has laid low but back in picture as representative of RAY.
Common knowledge that CHIBAS brought KAPPES out of Cuba, but should be
noted that KAPPES has since been in and out of Cuba three times with

no apparent difficulties.

CHIBAS' sources of information:
Mason in U. S. govermment
Manuel de Jesus and Bender as FRD representatives
Nino Diaz as Alianza representative
Don Hogan Kappes as Alberto Fernandex representative.

This should get a good picture of the U.S. anti-Castro activities.

3. Sumer 1960. Ray very actively recruited to become FRD member.

CIA considered him an important political asset. RAUL CHIBAS, Ray's

assistant, spoke for him with U.S. authorities, Urged strong organization
inside Cuba before outside help could be effective. CHIBAS meets with
Bender 9/7/60, says he is in favor of FRD but completely committed to

Ray and would check with him.

Ray to surface at press conference scheduled for 11/16/60 in Miami.

15. 11/17/60 cate to Director from MASH

On 11/15/60,) Parietey alies Bender met with Ray in complete privacy.
"Unquestionably, the youthful, softspoken, unassuming, almost humye Ray’

is a natural leader of highest intellect, deepest sincerity and convistion."
Ray's political posture doubtful as far as U.S. government acceptance is
concerned.

Explained to Ray the U.S. government's desire to have all Cuban exiles
unified in their efforts. Ray says MRP does not wish to reinstate 1940
constitution. Provisional government of 30 honorable Cubans would be
established and elections held 18 months thereafter. Castro laws passed
at beginning of his regime to be promulgated. State would regulate

private investment and utilities would be nationalized,

Ray wants to keep MRP "lean and hungry" -- each member to have specific
responsibilities and feel important to revolution.

Ray asked for permission to start a fund drive in Cuba and U.S. Also
asked for $10,000 by next Wednesday -=- Bender made commitment.

[restett}oerieves net result of meeting was establishment of private MRP-
eS. link and door remains open for some kind of relationship with FRD. -
Ray agrees to discuss this with Miro Cardona. Of all the groups being
supported, FRD, MRP and MRR are most significant. All Cuban groups seem
to be looking to Bender group to show a preference before joining one of
the above three. How long current flexibility can be maintained is
problematical.

Subject: Meeting with King and Esterline on subject of handling
MRP, 11/18/60 -

Consensus was that Ray did not politically represent amphhing to cheer

control MRP and wean it away to the extent possible from its leaders.
Could be done by controlling financial and military support. It was
agreed in meeting with Mr. Barnes that financial and military support

Havana had capabilities to blow up power plant and TV stations in Havana --
a diversionary tactic planned to coordinate with Isle of Pines operation.
Ray expects Isle of Pines operation support about 12/15/60.

“& Notation about Cable: "Operation Unity" is to create dramatic show which
* will demonstrate that Manolo Ray is wrong when telling contacts in U.S.

that his group is the only one capable of action."

Operation Unity involves MRR, MDI, OA, 30th of November Group and MAR (not

z 6. Field Information Report
_ Subject: Background, Character and Beonomic Concepts of Manuel Ray Rivero
Date: 16 March 1961
Sources: Dr. Oscar SALAS Marrero (paragraphs 1-11) Knew Ray in Cuba
Dr. Jose ALVAREZ Diaz, former Minister of Finance under Prio (Pg 12)
Dr. Jorge BERUFF, former president of Banco de Desarrollo
Economico de Cuba, (pg 13)

Note; Cover note pencilled comment (The content is so biased and mixed
with untruth that it would be a disservice to the intelligence community
to disseminate it.

Synopsis of paragraphs 1-11. Dr. Salas says during his childhood Ray was

a Protestant but today is completely atheistic. Said Ray organized the MRC
against Batista and shortly after Batista's fall, MRC and 26th of July
Movement fused into one, and as soon as Castro came into power, control

of the organization was given to the Commnists. Tells of Ray's association
with Castro and that he did not resign his position when his ow brother

Was renounced by Castro. Stated that Ray's rupture with Fidel was due

to the fact shat Ray opposed the idea of shooting Hubert Matos as a

traitor. Ray resigned his post but said publicly that he approved and
supported the Castro regime without any mental reservations. Says in
Cuban clandestine circles Ray is regarded as boastful, ostentatious and:
deceitful. Intimate friends of Ray feel that he is a man of anti-democratic
‘procedures, and does not like to take advice, even from members of his om
movement.

Synopsis of paragraph 12. Dr. Alvarez said Ray was in favor of maintaining -
relations with USSR and not making Commmist Party illegal. Said that

although Ray withdrew all these statements when threatened with press

coverage, Alvarez thinks they are representative of Ray's thinking and

would try to put ideas into practive if he ever came to power. Alverez

also mentioned Rays thinking on nationalization of public services,

socialized medicine, nationalization of banks, etc.

Synopsis of paragraph 13. Dr. Beruf? said Ray well-intentioned with no
Communist tendencies. Cited a meeting at which the basic points of the

MRP platform were discussed and said that since Ray was in disagreement with
the others on most of the points, Dr. Felipe Pazos acted as chairman of the
meeting and Ray argued his case as a simple member of the group. out of this
meeting came a declaration of 14 points, including the nationalization of
the banks and public utilities,

On 9 March, Ray said that ideas attributed to him in paragraph 12 were not

true and part of a "campaign against him by Mr. Pawley of the Miami Clty
Transit Company".

"Ray is balieved to have accomplished pratically nothing towards the effort
to overthow Castro. Instead, it seems that whenever we played with his! so-
called assets, we were burned. He is notorious for claiming assets or
operations, several days after some other group had already set them up or
Claimed them. Whenever it came to producing and backing up his claims, he
always came up with excuses for not producing, rather than results. He has
always tended to try to take over other goups » Yather than cooperate with
them, and when he couldn't take them over he would "politic" against then.
His actions all seemed to be directed toward making him the future power
in Cuba rather than toward overthrowing Castro. It is believed that Manolo
RAY ls so far "left" in his thinking that he would be as dangerous (or more
so in the long run) to United States interests as Castro, if he ever got to

K 2. Dispatch from Chief of Base, JMWAVE
Date: August 4, 1961
Subject; Debriefing of Father Bastarrica

. Father Bastarrica recently arrived from Cuba as a political exile. Ata’
luncheon meeting, he reported as follows;

MRP formed in Cuba around 26 July 1960. Organizers were Dr. Amalio Fiallo
Gonzalez, Dr. Antonio Fernandez Nuevo, Reynol Gonzalez, Humberto Perez Herrera.
All these men belonged to group called Accion Democratica. The name of MRP
was suggested by Raul Chibas and in itself it does not constitute a party
or group but rather a coalition of several small groups, which were the
following:

&» The 20 May group, led by Manuel Ray

be Accion Democratica, led by Dr. Fiallo

¢. Accion Verde Olivo, led by Dr. Rufo Lopez Fresquet

ad. 30 November Movement, led by David Salvador (never really joined )

e. Chibas' group with Jorge Beruff and Felipe Pazos

f. Dr. Valdez Pino, in asylum in Embassy of Peru and belonged

to Accion Democratica.
Father Bastarrica's opinion of Ray is that he had no way of judging whether
Ray is Communist or Marxist. Lacks quality of leadership because he
does not publically hold to a definite political, social and economic ideology.
He appears to agree with every person he talks to, never arguing with them
or opposing them, all of which shows he has no ideology and makes him a
very dangerous man. Is extremely ambitous for himself, with great desire
for power. ,

not pose as many difficulties as present Mexican and Spanish air travel
conditions,

him and his interest. This cannot but influence Ray."

Origin of Autonomous Operations

Integrated Covert Action Program for Cuba, approved by Higher Authority
in June 1963, provided for "support of autonomous anti-Castro Cuban groups
to supplement and assist in the execution" of other courses of action.
Concept was first voiced in Sept. 1962 in Walter Rostow's proposal for a
"Track Two" approach to Cuban operations. Parallel to regular CIA-
controlled Cuban teams, CIA wokld extend financial aid and some advice and
guidance to independent and uncontrolled Cuban leaders such as Manuel Ray.

Rules of Engagement incorporated into June 1963 program.

- "It is the keystone of autonomous operations that they will be
executed exclusively by Cuban nationals motivated by the conviction that the
overthrow of the Castro/Communist regime must be accomplished by Cubans,
both inside and outside Cuba acting in consonance.

2. The effort will probably cost many Cuban lives, If this cost
in lives becomes unacceptable to the U.S. conscience, autonomous operations
can be effectively halted by the withdrawal of U.S, support; but once halted,
they cannot be resumed.

3- All autonomous operations will be mounted outside the territory
of the United States,

- The United States Government mist be prepared to deny publicly
any participation in these acts no matter how loud or even how accurate may
be the reports of Us 3. complicity.

5. The United States presence and direct participation in the
operation would be kept to an absolute minimum. Before entering into an
operational relationship with a group, the U.S. representative will make it
clear that his Government has no intention of intervening militarily, except
to counter intervention by the Soviets. An experienced CIA officer would be
assigned to work with the group in a liaison capacity. He would provide
general advice as requested as well as funds and necessary material support.
He may be expected to influence but not control the conduct of operations.

6. These operations would not be undertaken within a fixed tine
schedule."

4. Memo for the Record, dtd ll Sept 1964 from Alfonso Rodreguez

On Aug 2k, 1964, Rogelio Cisneros called to report his resignation from JURE,

‘Stated Ray incapable of directing both political and military activities.

Cisneros thinks Raul Chibas will soon also resign. Cisneros said Ray not
prepared for ill-fated May attempt into Cuba and Cisneros thinks Ray had
believed he could arrange for CIA to take him into Cuba. "Ray is politically
unformed --- politically that which he last read". Cisneros further stated
that he believed Ray had planned his entire return-to-Cuba angle with President
Kennedy and the presidential elections of November 1964 in mind, According to
him, Ray planned to make JURE and Ray outstanding liberal and democractic
exile group with the thought that prior to the 1964 elections, Mr. Kennedy
would have to do something about Cuba. With Kennedy's death, according to
Cisneros, all of Ray's plans went awry. Rodriguez expresses to Cisneros

that this seems like a far-fetched possibility and Cisneros admits he got

idea out of thin air, but said theory widely held within Directorate of JURE,

3+ Memo for the Record - draft - dtd 22 Sept 1964 - Alfonso Rodriguez
Conclusions "I recommend we give Ray what he asks and close the JURE books
for good. if Ray is succesful in Cuba he will not need our help, if he is
not, our help won't do much good.

"He is honest and at least the money will largely be spent for the
purpose he wants to achief .-

“Whatever Ray may ever say, he was treated the way he asked to ve
treated. We have played the game in a manner beyond reproach."

Please pass to Asst. Sec. Mann from Ambassador Telles: "I saw President
Orlich and Minister Quiros Sasso on 18 November and conveyed reference position.
The President was visibly shaken to learn that US government was not in-
volved in this arms shipment. After some discussion with Minister Quiros,
President Orlich requested that we not issue license for AMBANG-1 shipment.
President Orlich made clear he would be happy at any time to undertake
action such as this if US government wanted him to. ‘hile he does wish
see Cuba free he inclined to agree with US position Re Hit and Run raids
undertaken principally for publicity sake. President Orlich's decision
based on (1) relatzation that he would not be doing us a favor and, (2)
further realization that CRG would be hard pressed to explain such a
$70,000 purchase of arms if it became a campaign issue in 1965."

According to CIA files, information dtd ug 1963 from a Cuban emigree source,
Roige was designated chief of intelligence by National Direction Acroad of
JURE. Source said intelligence group created in Mare 1963 on orders of
Manuel Ray for purpose of infiltrating JURE members into various organi zations
which operated in Miami area, as well as into agencies of U.S, govt. Further,
_that in April 1963, Ray had issued orders to infiltrate a JURE member into CTA

drop leaflets into Cuba of a derogatory nature regarding U.S. govt. In-
cluded in these leaflets was Subject's manifesto against the U.S. govt and

Dd» Memo for the Record, dtd 21 June 1966 from Charles Anderson

Met with Ray on 28 April 1966. Anderson said in general Ray had less
information on the “purge situation that I did.¥ Ray. said relatives
of Gustavo Arcos in P.R. had telephone contact with Arcos family in Cuba,
attout 25 April and that Arcos still in prison but charges against him
were thin. "( This means there was at least one more telephone call than
we knew of previously, and this has probably served to increase the pressure
on Arcos)." Anderson tells of nis concern and strong interest in Arcos on
the chance that Pay might assume Arcos rad veen CIA agent. Doesn't know
‘if Ray will construe remark this way but it seemed like an opening "to use
an important exile channel as a possible deception mechanism,”

"I believe that later in the summer it might be a good idea to have
another talk with AMBANG to keep up with exile thinking, and feeding more

deception thoughts."
